REMINDER: Under Title II, only a wage earner can meet the requirements for “statutory blindness”; i.e., a claimant for Childhood Disability Benefits (CDB) or Disabled Widow(er) Benefits (DWB) cannot be “statutorily blind.” However, for CDB and DWB claims involving work activity after 1978, a disability determination services (DDS) determination as to whether the CDB or DWB meets the requirements for statutory blindness may be necessary to determine which earnings guidelines to apply when evaluating work activity. For further discussion of this issue, see DI 26001.010A, “Jurisdiction of Blindness Cases.”
